92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Some of the Appellation wines were produced before the whole range was created, as is the case with the classical 2016 Appellation Agrelo Cabernet Sauvignon, from a classical zone in Luján de Cuyo. It was produced with grapes from 30-year-old vines at 950 meters in altitude from a cool El Niño year. It fermented after a three-day cold soak and matured in...

92 pts James Suckling This is really bright and vivid with blazing acidity, combined with ripe and rich fruit. Cooked apples and pie crust. Very flavorful finish. Almost sweet and sour character.

Vinous Media: 92 Points "Bright medium ruby-red. Classic aromatic Cabernet Franc nose offers blackberry, spices and violet, plus a faint hint of creosote. Concentrated, floral and energetic, delivering a wonderfully suave, fine-grained texture and a sexy oak element. The finish features building tannins and rising spicy length. A distinctly serious Cabernet Franc for aging. Vigil told me he...

91 points Wine Advocate The single-vineyard 2017 Ayni Malbec comes from paraje Altamira, and the wine was bottled with 13% alcohol and moderate acidity that made it feel soft but not bland, with enough freshness going through its core. Many wines are now matured in large oak containers, and that certainly helps with the integration of the oak with the fruit, as is the case here. The tannins are...

The wine shows the typical aromas of Torrontes (white flowers, lychee, peach) balanced by a refreshing acidity. Mineral texture due do the rocky soil of the vineyard. Elegant, dry and clean finish.

Deep-intensity purple in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of blackberry, red currant, black plum and kirsch with hints of sage brush and violet blossom. On the palate the dry, medium-plus-bodied malbec has medium-intensity, red-and-black-fruit flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and ripe, medium tannin. Definitely worth trying and pairing with...

"Berry and plum aromas come with a roasted side note. A crisp ringing finish is a bit shearing and acidic, while this tastes of spicy, peppery plum and berry fruits. A tight finish with chalky grip helps this end on a positive note. - Michael Schachner" - Wine Enthusiast (July 1st 2018), 87 pts

91 points - Tim Atkin “Tannat is still quite hard to sell,” admits Lucia Romero, “but we’re getting there.” Let’s hope so, because this a serious, compact, savoury expression of the grape with liquorice and tobacco leaf notes, dense black cherry and damson fruit and sinewy tannins

93 points -James Suckling A structured malbec with blueberry and licorice aromas and flavors that are buttressed with stone undertones. Like the minerality. Full body. Structured tannins. Fresh and vibrant. This needs a year or two to soften.

Blackberries, cherries and spices dominate the nose and the palate has great depth. Fresh, tense and electric, this is a fine expression of the chalky soils of Gualtallary, a fresher approach to the grape. Graceful, pure and super bright.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon with four months in American and French oak. Deep ruby colour with purple hints. A classic cabernet sauvignon with aromas of black fruits, spices and a hint of vanilla scented oak. A range of layered flavours including chocolate and spice, leading into a long finish. The grapes come from the 98 acres vineyard, located in the Uco Valley, which is over 3.600 feet above sea...

James Suckling 96 Points "A beautifully plush and fresh pinot that has much in the way of dark cherries and plums that ride on a silky, elegantly defined bed of fine tannins. This has superior elegance, depth and drive. Drink or hold."

Winemaker Notes The nose reveals dried plum and dark fruits; exotic spices with hints of violet and chocolate. Round and fleshy with enticing crushed plum and boysenberry fruit, enlivened by a liquorice snap note. Fresh acidity lies buried on the medium-weight, juicy finish.

This is a fantastic Red blend with a deep ruby color, aromas of cherry and red raspberries with a hint of vanilla, rich and ripe flavors on the palate with a nice layered complexity that reminds of a nice Bordeaux style Red with a long smooth tannin finish. Drink now to 2024.

92 points - James Suckling Tight and lively red with aromas and flavors of blackberries, licorice, stone and dust. Medium to full body. Creamy texture from the fine tannins.

Very nice pear and gentle apricot fruit on the nose with nuances of early summer blossom, but it is quite clean and crisp, without too much buttery character. On the palate this is essence of Viognier, with a full, sweet-edged palate of very ripe pear fruit running through to a juicy nectarine and peachy character, with a crisp, clear mid-palate and enough acidity to keep it fresh. Crowd-pleasing...

Tasting notes Pale yellow green color. Aromatical: notes of elderflower, lychee and a fresh crisp finish with lingering flavors of yellow fruit and tones of Muscat. 100% Sauvignon Blanc

Wine Advocate: 90+ Points "They look for fresh fruit with good light for the 2020 Malbec Serie A, something very important in warmer years like this 2020. As I saw in the Bonarda from this year, there is less perfect ripeness and the wine shows a little more rusticity within the gentle profile of the grape. This is their entry-level Malbec, excellent for the price. 600,000 bottles. It was bottled...
